Ruthiella Love it! 😍 When people ask “Are you carrying “, you say YES and instead of a gun, you whip out a copy of War and Peace. 😆 (edited) 5y

For the love of books use anything but food and liquids for your bookmark! These monsters!

Patchshank I read an article awhile ago on weird items librarians find in books and a common item was bacon. I'll try and find the article and post it. As for bookmark replacements some of them were funny, but why would you ruin a book on purpose? I mean come on... 6y

#shelfiesunday We did some rearranging at home today and I got a new bookshelf!

Here‘s the layout: All of the books on the top shelf are signed first editions. (Also the 3 Shades of Magic books on the second shelf.)

Most all hardcovers except where inapplicable. It‘s sooooo beautiful!

1. Print in general but ebook while I‘m traveling and audiobook while I‘m driving.
2. The beach! In my comfy chair!
3. Water or a pop. Pretzels or gummy bears.
4. Usually 2-3 books at a time.
5. All the time!

Such a good sport, posed for me in front of the bookstore‘s new mural 💗☺️

GrilledCheeseSamurai Well I hope so! I would totally be taking so many friggen selfies in front of that and asking strangers to help me take photos with my camera! 😅 8y
mrozzz @GrilledCheeseSamurai I agree! But it was about 8 degrees outside so at first he didn‘t want to stop but I promised to be quick and told him to assume a superhero pose 😆 8y
